Chapter Eleven

//I'll promise you

Byun KiKu's p.o.v.

During the first week of university, I signed up for an astronomy course, which would start a month later. Now, that we finally have September I made my way towards the listening hall. After reading Stephen Hawking's 'A brief history about time' and watching youtube videos 'til late In the night all about what if's and general cosmology, a small interest woke in me and I thought why not sign up. It would look good on my university certificate and doesn't hurt anybody. I entered the hall with my hands holding the straps of my backpack tightly. Some strands fell out of my ponytail directly on my face and I quickly blew and shook them out of my face before making my way to the front seats. I sat down on an empty chair in the second row directly in front of the blackboard. I fished my newly bought college block, my pencil case, and my notebook. Getting out three different shades of highlighter, a pen and opening the first page of the college block, I was ready for the course. Since I was 15 minutes too early the hall was still pretty empty but slowly it was getting filled with students after time had passed. I looked at my watch on my left wrist as someone sat down next to me. Before I could even take notice of whoever sat next to me, I could hear whispers. I looked to my right and saw Wooyoung had taken the empty spot next to me. No surprise that students began whispering. In my first month at the university, I had noticed that there was not that big of a difference to secondary school. Heartthrobs and campus beauties were a thing and Jung Wooyoung was a well-known campus beauty. "That's why I don't like being seen with you. Most of the people are now looking in our direction.", I annoyingly said while writing today date and the course on the first page.

"Well, hello to you too, Byun KiKu. I didn't know you had taken this course, too.", he said while wrapping one arm of his around my neck. The whispers started again, this time more loudly still inaudible though. "Uff, Wooyoung. Stop that, the others are talking and I really just want a peaceful college life without dealing with youngsters shit and rumors." "Just ignore them all, we are friends so I should be allowed to do anything I want with you. And besides, It's not my fault I'm that handsome." I finally looked him in the eyes and raised my eyebrows. "You're cockiness is showing." I lifted his arm from my neck and before anything else could be said, our professor came in. I glanced a last time at Wooyoung before laying my concentration fully to every single word that would come from the professor.

I looked at my block. 

Professor Kang's words still lingering around my head. After quickly leaving the hall, I made my way towards the bus station. I needed to get the book. While placing my pencil case in my bag and running to the station, I was completely obvious to my surroundings. I was panting when I arrived at the bus station which was way too far from building C and realized I had three minutes until the bus would arrive. I zipped the bag and turned my head and to the voice calling my name. I saw Wooyoung jogging towards me with a small notebook in his hand and waving it right beside his face. At second glance I noticed it was mine and sighed thankfully. "I think you left this behind.", he said tilting his head to the right. Taking it from him and putting it quickly in my bag, I thanked him with a hug. "Thank you so much, Youngie. Sorry, I rushed so fastly out of the hall." Wooyoung nodded before asking. "Where are you heading that you're in such a rush?"

I told him how I quickly looked up the nearest book shop after Professor Kang had recommended 'Stephen Hawing's Universe'  and saw that it only had open til 6 pm and it already was 5 pm. 

Wooyoung nodded understanding before chuckling. "There's a book shop near my shared apartment which is open 'til 8 pm. I can take you there and I'm hungry, we could grab something afterward. I know some good places around that area.", he finished with a wink and I smiled. "Yeah, why not." He shook his head slightly to the right to follow him and fished his mobile phone out of his jeans. I observed him and how he was quickly typing something on there before putting it back in his pocket. He went through his hair and shook his head slightly. No wonder so many girls were fallen for him. With his dark brown hair, he looked like an idol in the September sun. "I texted my roommate Yeosang that he should take the bus home. We always drive together so I have another helmet.", he said as we arrived at the university's parking lot. I stopped. "Wait, helmet? Don't tell me you drive a motorcycle.", I looked at him with my mouth slightly apart and pleading eyes. "Yes, why else would I need another helmet for you?", he locked eyes with me and probably understood the fear written all over my face. "Oh my-, are you scared of driving on a motorcycle? Byun KiKu is scared of driving a motorcycle?", he began making fun of my current state. "Yah! Yes, I am. Now stop making fun of me!", I yelled while hitting him. He put his hands up to shield himself. "Yes, yes, okay. I'll stop." I thanked him before he spoke again. "Well, we have no other option.", he unlocked his vehicle before getting out the second helmet and sitting down. He fixed his helmet on himself before looking at me and holding the other helmet in my direction. "Just close your eyes and hold me tightly. Nothing will happen. I'll promise you." I took the helmet from him before holding my pinky with his. As he started the engine I shut my eyes out of reflex just as I held his waist more tightly with my both arm fully wrapped around his waist. My with my dark blue jeans covered legs where on each side of the vehicle and my head was pressed to a little under his shoulder. While we drove off, I didn't notice how the people on the parking lot were staring at us and San and Seonghwa in his car were too.
